Made a video of my first hrs.
So far I am really enjoying this airplane, really fun to fly and great warbird feeling.

With VGs to boot! Fun planes.

There being no real gear safety systems, one has to be careful to put it down, and not put it back up on the ground! There are a few gotchas, especially regarding the rear gear handle (master).

This plane should keep you busy and grinning for a while.

Curious - why is the ground blue and the sky gray on the AI?

Because the Soviets were more pessimistic about how the sky looked?

(It's actually because the little ball in there works backwards to ours. Pull up and the equator of the ball stays level with the horizon, so you're looking at more and more of the blue side.)

This is correct. The ball stays fixed in space and the airplane moves around it.

In Western horizons, a mechanism reverses the direction in pitch so that the picture looks like that outside the window.

The cognitive dissonance in our trying to use the soviet thing must be overwhelming!

Looks fun! I’d like to compare one to a T34 one day. I waffled between th CJ and the T34 for quite a while.

Does the huo-sai engine take much fiddling?

Yes...
Both the M14 and Hs6 are mechanically both very similar. 25 hour oil changes, annual valve adjusting, lots of places for gasses and fluids to escape. Definitely more tinkering than a T34. Its therapeutic for some (myself included). But after 13 years and 1300 hours with Yak / CJ I hit the wall and sold.

There isn't anything extremely complex to work on, just more tinker time.

Edit: Actually the airframe requires as much tinkering as the engine.

There’s a bunch of CJ6’s at TOA where I’m based. I’ve ridden with them a few times. They do some pretty cool stuff.
